How many strokes??
2011 Jayco 321RLTS, greasing the hubs (bearing buddy style with zerks under the caps) Been way to long since I have done that. No time to go to the way to busy dealer before a trip. Stroke till grease...

This is one of those subjects that apparently needs to be re-debated about every 6 months. It's doubtful either side will ever change the other.
Personally, I repack bearings by hand. When I do, I put the grease in my palm and force the grease into the bearing by sliding the bearing over my palm. Many have done this for years. I don't have a clue as to if this the best way vs. pumping it in.
My question is it takes a fair amount of pressure to get the grease up in the bearing rollers. How can you pressure pump grease this hard into the bearing without it coming out the seal? Even if you are pumping grease successful to fill the wheel, are you really getting it into the bearing? I honestly don't know.
Also, by filling the wheel cavity with grease, would this eliminate the ability of an empty cavity being able to dissipate heat??
